书籍简介

鼻子嗅着城市街道空气中飘荡的令人垂涎的气味，引诱着肚子咕咕叫的“夜猫子”。在这家优雅的马车店内，一个长着羽毛的厨师正在烤肉，为轮班的工人和歌剧演员提供美味的菜肴。狐狸要的肉馅饼，獾要的火腿三明治，小负鼠的布丁。老鼠，一个可怜的扫大街的人，看着排队的顾客越来越多，一直希望有人能掉下一丁点食物，但猫头鹰的厨艺太过美味，根本找不到一点碎屑。当晚上的服务结束时，疲惫的猫头鹰发现了颤抖的老鼠。他是否已经找到了自己的夜宵，或者他将邀请这个小清洁工进去吃一顿两人的午夜大餐？

这本梦幻般的图画书出自两位知名的图画书创作者，着是对维多利亚时代午餐车的神奇颂歌。《夜宵》唤起了城市夜晚的声音、景象、气味和味道，揭示了如何在最意想不到的地方找到同情和仁慈，以及尊严和感激。

Noses sniff the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift-workers and operagoers alike: a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums. Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food -- but Owl's cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening's service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two?

From the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of the city at night, Night Lunch reveals how empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found -- and savored -- in the most unexpected places.
